If you think bullying is fun to watch there is something wrong with you.

@@krystofcisar469 It is supposed to be fun. That's the point! But if your version of fun is bullying, then you have a problem. If you don't see it as bullying, you are probably a bully.

[@ernie5229]

@@krystofcisar469 Watch his most recent Low ELO Legends - "60 ELO Game!" I think it is the lowest ELO game ever and T90 has almost no disparaging remarks about the players. In the game for this thread, almost EVERY remark he makes is disparaging to the players. Keep in mind, their play is poor because they are new. Even if they aren't, who cares? What kind of game caster makes fun of the people that play the game? Hint...a bully, that's what kind! How can we grow our community when one of the top casters is publicly making fun of new players for profit?

The water container blacksmiths used is called "Slack Tub" used to quench very hot metals.

[@EFFCtoocool]

Watching "Forged in Fire" has me screaming when someone tries a water quench, just use oil, a water quench has much more chance of making the blade brittle! Anyway, it's slightly off topic but it's what I think of when I see/hear quench! I do love how after watching 15-20 episodes of it myself and everyone else suddenly feels like a master blacksmith!

Gotta love when blue struggled with the gate there. Perfect LEL content!

[@cpawel]

Just to add to the struggle, the vil that t90 points out at 26:23 seems to be deleted by 26:36, which then culminates in blue deleting the wall just to add more vils to that side. Ah, so painful...

My laptop cannot run this game, but if it could, I'd buy this game just in the hope I would someday be a legend. A low elo legend.

Time for an upgrade, this is a 20+ year old game so older laptops should be able to run it fine

[@IschmarVI]

@@JamieAubrey well, not quite. While the game enigne itself (Advanced Genie Editor) is the same as it used to be, the assets are developed towards more modern systems. So the system requirements are certainly higher than they are for a game that is *actually* 20 years old.

[@greywolf7577]

Still, if your laptop is less than ten years old, you should be able to run a version of the game. You don't have to buy the most modern version of Age of Empires II. They still have the older version on Steam, I think.@@IschmarVI

I have to be honest. I love this game it's almost perfect. I love your commentation on games, it's edutaining. But most of all, I love your giggles when you see something that's a bit silly by players. Your giggle at circa 16 minutes when you noticed the water walling, got me!

[@dimitrikemitsky]

Hi T90, villager here, a trough is for both food or water. Considering its location on the forge however, you are probably right that it is for cooling worked metal. Incidentily that is also a trough, it is something called a "quenching trough," and quenching is done either with water or certain types of oil, and helps maintain positive properties of certain metals.

[@greywolf7577]

Villagers have much more knowledge than people give them credit for.

[@yooo5977]

@T90Official "Ahoj!" from the beginning is one of many forms of "Hello" rarely used in Lithuanian language popularised by some comercial from couple decades ago :) idk these players, but if map is called Baltics, it could be it. Fun fact, Lithuanian is one of the oldest and hardest languages to learn. For many native speakers english/spanish/german/french exams are usually much easier too in comparison to Lithuanian. I believe Czechs are using this word too. At 0:56 you say it more correctly too :D
